During 2023, Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) made strong progress against its mine to metals strategy.
Delivering on strategic and operational milestones, we have laid the foundations for critical next steps at our Dubbo Project and Korean Metals Plant that will drive our momentum in 2024.
As the year draws to a close, take a look at some of the progress we’ve made over the past 12 months.
ASM is pleased to note that materials to be produced from its globally significant Dubbo Project remain firmly on the Australian Government’s updated Critical Minerals List.
The revised list has been launched by Federal Minister for Resources the Hon Madeleine King MP.
The unique, long-life Dubbo Project deposit will produce the rare earth elements of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, in addition to zirconium, hafnium and niobium. These elements all play a critical role in the global clean energy transition.
According to the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, Australia’s Critical Minerals List contains minerals:

Once operational, the Dubbo Project will mine, separate and refine its materials onsite to produce metal oxides and mixed chlorides. Products will then be shipped to ASM’s metallisation plants and/or direct to global customers.
